Curatio International Foundation presented two posters at Copenhagen 2012 Conference- HIV in Europe.
One of the posters presented results of Bio-Behavioural surveys among Injecting Drug Users in five cities of Georgia in 2008-2009 and specifically explored Low testing uptake and their determinants among this high risk group in Georgia. Authors: Ivdity Chikovani, Ketevan Goguadze, Natia Rukhadze, George Gotsadze
The poster was presented in the session – Lessons learned in the implementation of HIV testing strategies for IDUs.
Another poster addressed issues around late diagnoses for HIV care. The National HIV/AIDS database for 2000-2010 was analysed and characteristics of high risk groups for late diagnosis in Georgia were identified. Authors: Ketevan Goguadze, Ivdity Chikovani, Natia Rukhadze, George Gotsadze
